The obvious question-are you willing/able to pay the 65,000 a year for OOS since there will be no financial/merit aid?

4

UCLA/UCB should be considered Reach schools regardless of your credentials so just wait for your decisions and then you will know your chances.

…and now you know why UCB yield for OOS is so low.

Wonderful attitude by the OP-hope you can afford the UCs if you get in.

not sure what your recalculated UCGPA is, if it is above 4.25, you are probably competitive - of course you will find out soon.

OOS tuition is no joke and there will be no need based aid for OOS students. If you are competitive for one of the top UCs, there are likely to be a number of private schools that will offer a merit based aid package that will make them a better choice.

good luck
